How to add my own game files?

You can add game files via iTunes share folder, or via Open In. For example you can send sgf or zip files as email attachment in the email app on iPhone, long tap the attachment to import games. Or upload files to Dropbox, and in Dropbox app, handle the file to EasyGo via Open In.

How to backup the games under "My Games"?

You can export them to a zip file, then in file manager, choose email to send the zip file as email attachment or choose "Open In" to transfer the zip file to other applications such as Dropbox for backup.

Currently, other data such as problem statistics can’t be backed up by above method. You can rely on the iTunes backup or iCloud backup to backup all the device data.

How about Dropbox integration?

Currently if you have Dropbox app installed on your device, it’s easy to transfer sgf/zip files between Dropbox and EasyGo via "Open In". Please see import, export sections for details.

Why some asian characters are unreadable?

The most common reason is that there is no encoding specified in the game file, you can configure the default encoding in global options.

Some zip files can’t be imported

May due to:

the file is encrypted

the file might be created using winzip and a non portable compression level was selected

The encoding of the file names in the zip file is not compatible with the current default encoding. Please configure the default encoding in global options.
